SPJ's Freedom of Information Committee is accepting nominations for its annual Black Hole Award, which highlights heinous violations of the public's right to know.

The deadline for nominations is Monday, Feb. 18. The committee welcomes nominations from local SPJ chapters, SPJ members, other journalists and private citizens, and the recipient(s) will be announced during Sunshine Week, March 10 to 16. Nomination criteria are available online, and nominations should be emailed to Mike Farrell of the FOI Committee.

#SPJDESKLOVE

We want to see where you make the journalism magic happen. It doesn't have to be a desk, exactly -- great journalism happens everywhere.

Improve your journalism skills and meet members of the Cleveland Pro Chapter. Members and non-members are welcome to attend. Jeff Cutler will present two sessions, the first session on online writing and the second on becoming a better listener. The cost to attend is $15 for SPJ members and $25 for non-members. The deadline to register is February 19.

SPJ HONORS

SPJ is accepting nominations for the SPJ Honors. Each award highlights attributes valuable to the journalism community, and we know many journalists and organizations deserve such recognition.

We need you to tell us about them. Take a look at the honors and think of whom you want to acknowledge:

The Sunshine Week website (www.sunshineweek.org) has been revamped to streamline access to the materials participants may need during the weeklong look at the importance of government transparency. The toolkit will be continually updated as Sunshine Week nears, and will include a selection of opinion columns, cartoons, house and public-service ads, and event logos, all of which are offered free to participants.

The summit will feature a panelist discussion on the common causes of plagiarism, steps to prevent it and how to handle incidents. The summit is free of charge and open to journalists, members of the media and others working in the communications industry. Following the summit, training sessions will be held on topics including aggregation versus plagiarism, social media plagiarism and plagiarism in the classroom. Registration for the afternoon sessions is $50.
